I Demand It! Part 1

Growing up I was taught to use the power of 'visualization' and that superior concentration was one of the keys to getting what I needed or what I wanted in life.

Over the last three or four weeks, in pursuit of a new job, I have become filled with a unique mental energy as many pieces of my job hunt began to fall into place (I began connecting with all the right people and getting interviews lined up etc). I am seriously considering this "soon to be completed puzzle" to be my best job prospect yet. Anyhow, that unique energy was followed by what I now describe as "pay back" to me for me making the right connections -- unknowingly though. Looking back, way back to January 2005, I recall imprinting in my mind the projection of how great it would be to work at a company like that. This imprinting, what I also considered to be some from of visualization, is something that in my 38 years of life have I have seen enough success from it to convince me that is not a coincidence and that visualization (or imprinting as I have called it) is actually a tool -- perhaps like a tuning fork when used to tune a piano string or the like.

It must have been a strong desire because now I am facing an incredible opportunity...a new role, a stable company, a very nice compensation plan etc. My actions within the last four weeks have been to the likeness of a steamroller on auto-pilot plowing down a nice flat path on which to walk into this opportunity -- all based on this 'imprinting' exercise. When once jobless a couple years back, I visualized what I wanted to do and where I wanted to be. And soon I hope to validate my will in my new role.

Oh, and why the title?
"I demand it!" Well this is a new phrase my wife and I have begun to use when there is something new in the future that we are looking to create (like a job, an opportunity, an introduction, or the energy to get something really important done). And this new thing is also something that I would normally visualize or concentrate on...finally seeing it come to fruition. Lately, instead of visualizing, we get together and in unison think of "it" and say (of the universe...) "I demand it!" It has been working very well thus far.

(More next week, as I reveal what my new job will be.)
